Is UK the only country in europe where employers ask for your current salary? On job application, it is frequently mentioned and it is compulsory to fill it in. Plus recruiters like to ask about it. Do you tell them what you are earning now? I believe salary should be based on my capabilities not my previous comp.

You can just put your salary expectations - you don’t have to put it

Just put your expectations? They won’t ask for actual proof

Also, your employment reference only includes dates of employment not salary so there is no downside in putting your expectation or some otherwise inflated figure to guide your offer. No point putting in a low number, doing a load of interviews, then getting an offer you know you’ll reject as too low. That wastes everybody’s time

Yes. I put a nice number in the expected salary blank, yet current salary is a must-fill space

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

I am in a design/production role at a mid-sized agency. We currently only have one person on the digital team doing UX. I recently presented my manager with a proposal for a new position, UI Designer, that I want to move into.
I would love some advice on how to negotiate salary on a new position that doesn't current exist. How do you respond to an offer? What if they say it's a lateral move and don't offer me any additional compensation?
